Okay I guess...
This pop filter does his job. It's really difficult to make it stand like it's supposed too: between the singer and the microphone. The filter tend to drop down. It's pretty annoying to set up... and as soon as you move the microphone, the filter can drop. That's a no from me.

Decent job with plosives, let down by build quality
As a pop filter, it does work well against plosives, although be aware that when air goes through the grill, it makes a bit of a noise which can be picked up in the recording. This has been my first and only metal pop filter, so I don't know if this is an issue with this particular model or just a limitation of metal pop filters in general.
Where this product was a complete let down, however, was in build quality. Most of the time, it just won't stay in play and will just drop down. There's a very narrow sweet spot of angle and positioning where it might mostly stay in place. In addition to this problem, which was there from the beginning, within just over a year of very infrequent use, the screw at the base of it, which is meant to secure it on the mic stand, had worn through the metal clamp, rendering the whole thing unusable.
For the price, and with the stability issues it has even before the screw problem, I really can't be bothered to return it or ask for a replacement. It did its job partially for a bit, when I'd managed to get it to stay in place. Time to move on to something more expensive, and hopefully better built.

Does the job, but could be better...
I bought this as I didn't have any other pop filter handy and I'm not entirely dissatisfied with my purchase.
The pop filter is sturdy, well constructed, the metal grill is gorgeous, and the clip on joint is fairly solid.
Sadly, that's all the good I can say about it. Firstly, the gooseneck is veeeeery short, almost way to short for most condensers that come with their own shockmounts, and I'm 99% sure it wouldn't work with an SM7. The gooseneck is also very flimsy and weak, I had to bend it in a very strange way to get it to stay put.
Overall, it'll do the trick in a desperate situation, but you can get better.

I bought it due to the small diameter and out of curiosity. I haven't owned a metal one before.
Pros: Small size distracts less when reading lyrics.
Gooseneck and clamp are good.
Works well from reasonable distance.
Cons: When singing very close, the metal "grille" tends to distort sibilance and pop's. Whistling like effect occurs, when lots of air is moving through the shield.
From now on, I prefer standard two layered fabric shields.

Good sound filtering
I like the sound filtering it has, it really stops any pops or blows. I use it with a Rode M3, which is not a vocal mic and it had huge amount of poping before. With the filter it is great. And the long neck can reach in front of the Rode, which is a fairly long mic.
However, it is not the easiest thing to put in place. The neck is easy to bend, but when you release it, it returns to its previous position. You have to keep working on it until you get a good position in front of the mic. Every time it takes me up to 1 minute of bending it right and left of the mic, until it decides to stay in the middle.

Okay for the price.
Not that sturdy, so it falls down slowly if you set it up sideways.
Sound is okay, and the look of grille is also quite nice.

Plosives make sound against the metal when up close. Be aware!
Good for the price, but once you get up close, the air from the plosives makes a "shh" sound through the metal grill thus making it a little worse than the fabric pop filters. But it has its upsides and may interest people who sing far away from the microphone. Easy to clean and looks sleek. A little jagged edges, but for the price very adequate.
